Historic buildings in Hialeah, Florida

Graham House, located at 10721 Northwest 138th Street in Hialeah, Florida, was once the childhood home of former Florida Governor Bob Graham. Built in 1924 by Ernest R. “Cap” Graham, this historic landmark was part of the Pennsylvania Sugar Company's operations in the early 20th century. The house, made of coral rock, stands as a reminder of the once-thriving dairy farm that occupied the area. Ernest Graham, a mining engineer turned farmer, managed the operations of the sugar company and later started his own business, Graham Dairy, on the land. The town of Pennsuco, where Graham House is located, saw its population dwindle over the years as the dairy farm moved and residential development took over. Eventually, the remaining residents voted to abolish the city charter and were annexed into Dade County.
